At Zimmer Biomet, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation and driving our mission forward.

As a Zimmer Biomet team member, you will share in our commitment to providing mobility and renewed life to people around the world. To support our talent team, we focus on development opportunities, robust employee resource groups (ERGs), a flexible working environment, location specific competitive total rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition and performance awards. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.

  • Apply Lean Six Sigma and IBP Oliver Wight methodologies to optimize production planning processes
  • Own KPIs for planning, inventory management, and logistics; develop scenarios, run simulations, and prepare forecasts and KPI reports for planning and control
  • Initiate and foster continuous improvement initiatives

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Cross-functional team collaboration
  • Building strong, positive relationships
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • ensuring high service with minimal inventory
  • Proactivity, agility and resilience

Your Background

  • MBA in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mathematics (or other related field), or equivalent education
  • Preferred 5+ years of experience in supply chain, project management, planning, or IT systems - ideally in MedTech
  • Strong understanding of end-to-end supply chain planning, activities, interactions, and interdependencies
  • Proficiency in industrial processes and logistics flows
